DATE = -1 ?

Why, if I don't have a 'Year' entered in EAC, do I get a date of '-1' ? I'm using:
--quality 5 --xlevel --ape2 --artist "%a" --title "%t" --album "%g" --year "%y" --track "%n" --genre "%m" %s
as the command line. Now I know I can avoid this problem by entering a 'Year' but as the year is not always available from Freedb, I would have thought that it should just NOT write a DATE tag. Afterall, if no GENRE is available, it doesn't write a GENRE tag...?

While i can't help you right now with the "-1" problem, where i look up release dates etc. is http://www.allmusic.com/. I found them to be fairly accurate.
